Citing TikTok?

Hi, just wanted to pick your brains on whether or not to add a candidate (Malachy Steenson) to 2024 European Parliament election in Ireland, with a tiktok video as reference. I know WP:USERGENERATED advises against it, but per WP:SOCIALMEDIA it might be alright because it's published by Malachy Steenson himself. I did find a second source here but I don't think it's a fully reliable source either. Anyway, the TikTok is available here. Thanks, Boardwalk.Koi (talk) 17:03, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Boardwalk.Koi: I had a look at WP:SOCIALMEDIA. and my reading is that its ok to use it as a reference. I don't know about the reliability of the europeanconservative.com website. I have no objections to Malachy Steenson been added. It would be nice to a mainstream media reference but that won't probably happen for a while; or until closer to the election date.

Thanks for your input. I'll go ahead and add him now so. Boardwalk.Koi (talk) 16:34, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

hi! I know this discussion is long over but I just wanted to add that I have seen in other pages (specifically Clacton) that before the declaration period closed, the Labour candidate was cited using a Labour Party tweet (it was removed once the finalized poll sheet was released by the gov), so I feel like tiktok would be a fine source.

Changes to Public holidays in the Republic of Ireland

Can you explain why you reinstated original research links that I removed from the Public holidays in the Republic of Ireland article, some of which were linked to the wrong statute information (for example the 1977 changes are linked to the 1973 statute update) when I had replaced the entire paragraph's worth with a perfectly adequate secondary source that had the correct links to all the statutes anyway?

Clare County Council

Instead of using personal attacks, you could have made correct edits. A sandbox page is an option while you are working on updating, adding incorrect info certainly not. The Banner talk 19:22, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

File:Donegal_County_Council_Composition.svg

Can you mark this file as updateable so I can change it? Unless you would prefer to update it yourself! :) Lough Swilly (talk) 23:17, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

@Lough Swilly: I'm afraid I don't know what you mean. You should see an "Upload new version of the file" link on screen. Are you logged in on WikiCommons? Do you have permissions there to do this? You can always add a new file called Donegal_County_Council_Composition_2024.svg. Spleodrach (talk) 13:25, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

It said I lacked permissions to change the file. And yeah, I could upload a new file, I just didn't want to take up space on the commons. Lough Swilly (talk) 13:31, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
